Disclaimer: I bear no responsibility for Alan O'Day's "Undercover Angel", nor any credit for either of the books of Tobias. (And, incidentally, why do we say there's only one? The Septuagint and Vulgate versions are clearly two allied but distinct accounts of the same event; it's like treating Mark as some kind of distorted version of Matthew, and always leaving one or the other of them out of the Bible on that account.)
Seven times a widow, scorned by Father's maid,
I looked out my window and in desperation prayed,
"Lord, You know I never earned this evil fame;
If you won't cut short my life, then sponge out my shame."
He said, "Hmmm…";
He said, "I see…";
He said, "All right" –
And he sent His servant to me!
Undercover angel, healing from the Lord!
Help out of mercy, as his alias underscored!
Undercover angel, from Heaven sent to guide
The son of Tobit to his long-awaiting bride!
Smoke from piscine innards scented the air
As in the midst my love and I knelt chastely in prayer.
A miraculous incense filled all the room;
When my Hellish persecutor smelled its perfume,
He said, "U-ugghh!"
He said, "Eww-ww-ee!"
And he took flight,
With a Holy One pursuing!
Undercover angel, Asmodeus' bane!
Somewhere in Egypt, there's a demon now in chains!
Undercover angel: the counsel that he gave
Gained me a husband with a hope beyond the grave!
When we'd come rejoicing to great Ninive,
Tobias and his father sought his friend to repay.
Azarias smiled, took them aside,
And told them of the son of God his visage did hide.
He said, "What
I apparently
Ate in your sight
Was a food men can't see" –
And, "I brought
Sara's heart's plea
In her sore plight
To the throne of God Almighty!"
Undercover angel, holy Raphael!
I'm sure I owe him more than mortal words can tell!
Undercover angel, the answer to my prayer:
He made me know there was a love for me out there!
